This week we head into the 4th of July. Many of us will spend time celebrating with family or friends. There will be food, fireworks, and fun for everyone. Judging from the title, you may be expecting a reminder to pray for our country. For certain, that is a good thing to do, but I'd... Continue Reading →
Famed missionary Eric Liddell is known for saying, “I believe God made me for a purpose—for China. But he also made me fast, and when I run, I feel his pleasure.” I often feel the same way. Only, I would say, “I believe God made me for a purpose—for the church. But he also made... Continue Reading →
It's been a few weeks since I posted part 1 of this discussion. Since that time I have had the opportunity to listen to others, dig deeply, and gather a bit more insight into the concept of "redeeming the culture."

They would say, "Of course abortion is a good thing." The above question exposes a polarizing divide in our nation. And... Continue Reading →

Yet, somehow, disaster still strikes. I want to sound the same warning about our modern hymn movement. Conservative evangelical... Continue Reading →
One of the fun aspects of blogging is getting to view my website's traffic. Ever since I started my blog, I have been fascinated by the statistics. I can tell whenever someone visits my webpage and see which blogs they have read. I can also tell if they came to my blog through a Google... Continue Reading →
This year I decided to take on Tim Challies' 2019 Christian Reading Challenge. Just recently I finished up my first biography for the year. Occasionally I will do a book review on some of the books I'm reading. You can read some of my thoughts about that process here. Today's book is George Müller of Bristol by... Continue Reading →
